Re: WTB: Highend Deck/Amp

I may consider selling my MCC404M in a few months. It's currently in use. I am stepping up to the MCC406M. The MC's are really wonderful amps, I would also consider a ZED amp they look really good and have some impressive stats.

Had an MX406 HU that sold a week ago.

If you were going for a MC HU try to get the MX5000 its pretty rare but there is a guy in diy selling it for 1,500. I can give you his username if interested.
Frankly its the only MC control center I would consider. The MC hu's are super basic, they sound good but have very limited sound tuning (Aside from basic treble and bass).

Nak and denon are probably good choices. I would consider a P99RS, but you are going to need some RTA gear to make the most out of it (do not get the p99rs if you are running passive crossovers).

All of this was installed in my GTIVR6 with 4 2-Channel Butler tube amps, Dynaudio 3-way front stage with 8" mid-woofers, in sealed enclosures, and a single sealed 12" Alumapro sub. Everything was removed from the car about 7 years ago and has been sitting in most, if not all, of the original packaging since. The goal when building was all about sound quality - it was amazing.

Let me know if you are interested. It is very difficult to find all of these items in good working condition.

Was going to buy the MX4000 5 months ago.
It's getting older (made in the mid to late 90's), but McIntosh is meant to last.

Re: WTB: Highend Deck/Amp

Last thing I'll mention is that you may want to consider a deck that has an EQ and time alignment features, along with active capability. They can make a big difference in the final overall sound quality of a system.

I ended up the the p99rs because the Mc HU just didn't have the features I was hoping for, and I can't see dropping large bills on a HU when I would have to buy an external DSP to get the most out of my system.
